“You can’t choose between right and wrong by taking a census.”

I used to think that drinking would help my shyness, but all it did was exaggerate all the negative qualities.

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too – for being married so many times.

I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.

No matter what happens, I’m loud, noisy, earthy and ready for much more living.

I do enjoy life, I really do. Especially if I wake up the next day.

Michael Jackson is part of my heart. We would do anything for each other.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they’re going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

You can be fat and still be sexy . It all depends on how you feel about yourself.

Now is the time for guts and guile.

I’ve always admitted that I’m ruled by my passions.

Big girls need big diamonds.

Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.

The things that are important to me – being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist – are all things that were borne out of great passion.

Everything makes me nervous – except making films.

I don’t have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Just in case you get pneumonia or die. The dangerous bits are always the last days of shooting.

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we’re mad at people, we’re angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.

The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.

The only way the past can drag you back is if you choose to bring it with you into the present.

Because I always have a choice, I choose love.

Become mindful that remaining in a conflict is a choice.

I chose the trombone because the trombone players in the marching band got to be up front with the majorettes (because of the slides) and I loved that!

There are only 2 responses to the world, fear or love. Your life depends on which one you choose.

Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle.
